Page 2 Heppner Gazette TIMES, Thursday, April 24, 1952 Winning Essay Continued from page one because we have that protection now in America and desire it for people everywhere. The fact that we have a voice in our gov ernment and such things as tree dom of speech and religious rights makes our country seem a paradise to many of the people of war-torn Europe, Very few of us can imagine what it would be like to be without these rights. "... to build the defenses of peace." OVER HALF THE FEO- Pie In the worm can t read or write. These people live in areas that are infested with diseases, poverty and hunger. Heading the attack on such illiteracy is the United Nations' Educational, Sci entific and Cultural Organization which is bringing "fundamental education" to groups that have been deprived of schooling. Through the education these peo ple receive, they will learn to read and write; become aware of simple health rules; learn better farming methods and other prac tical measures for raising their standard of living. They also learn to understand other people, other forms of government, and better race-relations are pro moted. "Wars begin in the minds of men and it is there that ce fenses of peace must be construct ed." When men understand one another and the reasons for their differences, they are freed from a great deal of the blind hatred that is the result of ignorance. "... to keep peace." "Peace is dear to the hearts of men, but not so dear that it can be bought with liberty," Any American will endorse this statement instantly. Why does the United Nations have soldiers fighting? World Peace is the answer! Soldiers from many nations, of different races and religions, are fighting alongside each other for this world peace in which thev all believe. There has never before been a world or ganization, as large, using mili tary power to keep peace and de veloping international protection against AGGRESSION. The Uni ted Nations has many times stop ped fighting which might have become widespread and we can verify this fact by looking at the record. We ask, "Why hasn't such fighting exploded into a war?" Much credit is due to the firm action of the United Na tions and the high respect which is held for it in all corners of the globe. Only insofar as the United Nations is successful In deterring would-be-aggressors will the common citizen be able to live with a feeling of security and promise for the future. "... to save disaster's child ren." If we asked children in countries struck by war what the United Nations meant to them, this Is what we would hear: "A cup of milk; a piece of cheese and meat; shoes for our feet; warm blankets and clothing; . . . medi cines to make us well again." If we were one of the "disaster's children" it would mean the same to us. But it is fortunate that you and I have never had to worry about such a circumstance. The United Nations has organized the International Children's Emer gency Fund to prpvide for these children. Since the United States joined the United Nations we are no longer able to consider ourselves Just as citizens of our state, and our country, now we must also consider ourselves as citizens of the world. This is a world-wide obligation and responsibility we must face. We cannot accept the privileges the United Nations has to offer us without also accepting the responsibilities. Too often we fail to look at it from that angle. To f uJ if ill those responsibilities we should learn about the United Nations, what it does and study lone Band Rates High at La Grande Music Festival Ey Echo Palmateer The lone band rated 2 at the Musical Festival in La Grande Saturday. Dennis Swanson rated 1 in a cornet solo and Judy How ton a 3 in a saxaphone solo. The band rated high on interpretation and directory, but the reed sec tion was off key and the cym bals were not in tune with one another. Among those attending from here besides those in the band and their leader, David Ras kin were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Osibov, and family, Mr. and Mrs. Earl McKinney, Mrs. E. M. Baker, Mrs. Omar Rietmann, Mrs. C. E. Brenner, Mrs. Marion Palmer, Mrs. Garland Swanson, and Mrs. Echo Palmateer. Mrs. Omar Rietmann attended n ' w f n " i J. P.

We should follow its activities with interest. We should do further research in the librar ies and other places. We should also aid the United Nations by giving to the various organiza tions, who can carry our contri butions to those in need. On the East River at First Ave nue, East .Onrt and East 48th streets in New York City the Uni ted Nations has recently moved into its new headquarters. This seems a long way from Heppner, Oregon, but it is not nearly as far from here as it is from the homes of some of the delegates who are working there. All these men and women from far-distant lands are working with our own delegates toward a great goal. This goal is that perhaps someday we shall have a World Govern ment for the sake of mankind. Such a government would finally put an end to aggression and solve many problems that con front the United Nations today. This would bring an international linking of all the people of the world regardless of race, creed, color, and religion. In the final analysis, it means that if the United Nations is suc cessful in this struggle for world harmony, you and I may some day look to the future without thoughts of military service, of shelters to protect us from atom bombs, and of fear for the safety of our families. Someday, if the United Nations is successful we may truly live in a world where there is peace and understanding among ail men. Today, in an atmosphere of so mucji mistrust and hatred, there is no greater goal. a reception Saturday evening in) The baseball game was forfeit La Grande in honor of Mrs. Pearl i ed by Umatilla here last Friday, McClav.
